I& #39;ve spent all day trying to compose a tweet to go with this image, but the truth is I have no words for it. The entire West Coast is on fire and covered in poisonous air. We& #39;ve debated climate change for decades. This is the result of our failure to act. https://fire.airnow.gov/?lat=34.096909386044686&lng=-118.28228359400194&zoom=10">https://fire.airnow.gov/...

In before "What about development in the urban / wildland interface? What about controlled burns?" All factors as well. But climate change is the biggest; it& #39;s the only one heating and drying the entire coast on an unprecedented scale.

Despite what some pols think, it doesn& #39;t do shit anymore to go on TV and say "Climate change is real." Our leaders have a simple choice: Whether to take real, meaningful *policy action* to solve the climate crisis, or whether to let us choke to death in fire and smoke.
